Historia
We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

INFO FOR THE EVERYMAN
Revisado: 07-23-22
Our Founding Fathers sought to create “ a more perfect Union.” It is obvious by the many quotes of these creative minds that they thought long and hard. We as a people should be most thankful for the opportunity they have afforded all of us. It is now our responsibility to hold dear that which they have created. Everyman should be required to hear the texts that Rabb has compiled for us: to learn, to understand, and to live.
This is a work you can listen to over and over again to inspire you on a daily basis.

Historia
Meredith and Nina Whitson are as different as sisters can be. One stayed at home to raise her children and manage the family apple orchard; the other followed a dream and traveled the world to become a famous photojournalist. But when their beloved father falls ill, Meredith and Nina find themselves together again, standing alongside their cold, disapproving mother, Anya, who even now, offers no comfort to her daughters.

Interesting, but not me
Revisado: 04-12-22
I am lucky to have lived a safe, loved life. Many of the experiences in this story are in a life I can completely understand. It was a good, interesting story; but not me.

Historia
They came to the deserted island to compete on a popular reality television show. Each one hoped to be the last to leave. Now they're just hoping to stay alive, because the island isn't deserted after all. Contestants are disappearing, but they aren't being eliminated by the game. They're being taken by the monstrous, half-human creatures that live deep in the jungle. The men will be slaughtered. The women will be kept alive as captives. Night is falling, the creatures are coming, and rescue is so far away....

Crazy story, not believable. Pretty gory. Dumb ending. Can’t recommend it. Use credits elsewhere.

Can’t go wrong
Revisado: 03-02-20
There aren’t many narrators easy to listen to than Mike Rowe; and when he’s reading his own writings it is a great combination. Great true stories, interesting who-done-its, and his usual humor. You’ll enjoy this one, “at least that’s the way I heard it.”

Historia
The year is A.D. 922. A refined Arab courtier, representative of the powerful Caliph of Baghdad, encounters a party of Viking warriors who are journeying to the barbaric North. He is appalled by their Viking customs - the wanton sexuality of their pale, angular women, their disregard for cleanliness...their cold-blooded human sacrifices. But it is not until they reach the depths of the Northland that the courtier learns the horrifying and inescapable truth.

Unusually entertaining
Revisado: 03-19-19
Not sure everyone will like this. I really did. I think the narrator made it work. It is a very strange approach to telling early Scandinavian history.
It took some time and concentration to get involved but in the end it found it unusually entertaining.
Michael Crichton winds an interesting tale in the person of a Muslim traveling to the land of the Vikings. Simon Vance’s narration kept me interested.

Historia
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Mundane
Revisado: 12-13-17
Having enjoyed “The Martian” I pre-ordered this book. Disappointed. Read well, but story slow, mundane. Not a good follow up to a great story.

Historia
Historians have long told the story of America’s birth as the triumph of Jefferson’s democratic ideals over the aristocratic intentions of Hamilton. Chernow presents an entirely different man, whose legendary ambitions were motivated not merely by self-interest but by passionate patriotism and a stubborn will to build the foundations of American prosperity and power.

A Real Believer in America
Revisado: 09-06-16
I fear we teach too little about this important Founder of our Country. He believed in the patriot's cause and dedicated his life to so much of it's creation. The author did a very thorough job in developing Hamilton's story.
A great history lesson as well as s great auto
Biography. And you can't ask for a better narrator. Five Stars well deserved.

Historia
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plainold "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

MacGuiver in Space
Revisado: 02-11-15
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I listen to dozens of books a year and this has got to be one of the best I've listened to in the past few years. I've been recommending it to everyone.
What did you like best about this story?
The main characters exists in a world he creates for himself. He is MacGuiver in space.
What about R. C. Bray’s performance did you like?
compelling, made you feel you were right with the character, experiencing his dilemnas, savoring his achievements.
Any additional comments?
Almost wish there had been another chapter.
I.m going to find some other writings by SWeir.
